Just yesterday, John Piper posted a tweet about Terry Virgo\u2019s sermon on prayer<\/b>. This sermon had been available online for a couple of weeks and had been well received. But I don\u2019t think I was ready for what would happen next. Over the next day around 1400 more people<\/b> had watched the video. Imagine the impact of just some of them putting into practice what they learned and pursuing God more vigorously<\/b> in prayer!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
In that same day, a twitter search for Terry Virgo or the shortened URL Piper used<\/a> revealed the list of tweets I share below some of which have great quotes<\/b> from the sermon, and show that people really felt they had benefited from watching it. If you want to find our more about Terry Virgo, do visit his personal website<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Personally, I am more and more convinced that somehow watching high definition videos of sermons<\/b> is more impacting than listening to audio. If you haven\u2019t seen it yet, go watch it right now!<\/a> And if you like it, why not tweet about it too, and perhaps share your favorite quote.<\/div>\n
I might even do a follow up post and include your tweet here.<\/div>\n

Just not all at once. Healing takes time. Compassion and patience carry us over a lifetime of change. These are the themes I explore in my books and in the articles I have written for Patheos since 2003. My writing draws on my scientific training as a doctor and psychiatrist, my work in the UK's National Health Service and the pharmaceutical industry, alongside more than twenty-five years as a member of a growing church where I served on the leadership team offering pastoral care. My perspective has also been shaped by chronic illness since 2017, when I developed life-threatening pneumonia that caused lasting damage to my body, triggered several further conditions, and uncovered a diagnosis of blood cancer. This was successfully treated, although doctors expect it to return in the future. Out of these experiences I founded Blood Cancer Uncensored, an online patient-led support community. I am the author of the Transformed by Jesus: Spiritual Renewal series of books, which ask: \u2192 Is the Easter story true, and what does it mean? Raised With Christ: How the Resurrection Changes Everything \u2192 Why is change so difficult? What causes the resistance? The Traitor Within: Understanding and Healing Our Deceitful Hearts \u2192 How does transformation happen over time? Amazing Grace: How Faith Grows in the Human Heart \u2192 What are the first steps on a journey of faith? Hope Reborn: How to Become a Christian and Live for Jesus These books bring together medical, psychological, social, and faith-based insights, advocating for a biopsychosocial\u2013spiritual model of wellbeing.
